Classroom Based (Group Placement)

Group placements aim to enable the child to function more comfortably and successfully in all the various settings he or she experiences - home, school and community. Children are placed into small groups, with a teacher and a teacher aide, and receive regular speech therapy, occupational therapy and physiotherapy. Autism Queensland staff also work with parents and staff from the child's other school to help address any needs and concerns.
